You can try changing to a newer kernel. Either by manually downloading and installing the .deb files or by using a gui tool.

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.12/

Download depending upon your OS type i.e (64-bit/amd64 or 32-bit/i386):

linux-headers-4.12.0-xxxxxx_all.deb
linux-headers-4.12.0-xxx-generic(/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(/i386).deb
linux-image-4.12.0-xxx-generic(/lowlatency)_xxx_amd64(/i386).deb

Install by the following command

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

This will install the latest kernel files. Restart ubuntu for changes to take effect.
